I hope this letter finds all our families in good health as the colder weather approaches. I wish to draw your attention to the following:

CONGRATULATIONS

Our congratulations are extended to Mr and Mrs Hadland on the birth of their baby daughter. We hope she brings you many blessings.

EXAMINATIONS

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our Grade Four to Seven learners everything of the best for the upcoming exams which commenced on Wednesday. Please work very hard and excel. There will be no extra murals during examination time for Grade Four to Seven learners commencing on the 7th June 2017. Extra murals will continue for the Foundation Phase until the 15th June 2017.

TRAFFIC

I urge all parents to please obey traffic laws when dropping or fetching their children. This is becoming a serious problem and has been addressed on numerous occasions. There are certain parents who have become extremely territorial of their parking bay when collecting or fetching their children and are rudely engaging with other parents upon finding that ‘their parking bay’ has been taken. I have often addressed common courtesy with parents and the parking on the external boundaries of the school. No parking bay is demarcated to a parent. Whoever arrives first is entitled to park in that bay. If parents continue to engage in arguments about parking they will be called into the office and the Metro Police will be contacted.

SCHOOL UNIFORM

Parents please check your child’s school uniform before leaving in the morning that they are neatly attired in the correct winter uniform. There are various second hand garments available from our swop shop at reasonable prices. The swop shop operates daily during school time.

SPORTS DAY HELD ON 3RD JUNE 2017

Thank you to all staff members, learners and parents for making the day the success it was. A special word of thanks is extended to Coach Maryke and the Sports Department for their hard work. Well done!

TEACHERS – EXAMINATIONS

A number of our teachers are busy writing exams. I wish them a fruitful outcome.
